Römerstein

The Römerstein is a mountain in Baden-Württemberg that rises 872 meters above sea level and features a forested summit with a notable observation tower. This 28-meter-high structure was built in 1912 and offers an excellent vantage point over the region.

In ancient times, Roman settlements developed near Donnstetten between 85 and 260 AD. The mountain itself was later named after the Rem family, who shaped the area during the Middle Ages.

The name comes from the Rem family, who lived in this area during the Middle Ages. Hikers encounter traditional Swabian mountain culture here, which continues to be maintained by local hiking clubs.

The observation tower opens during warmer months on weekends and holidays, with barbecue areas and playgrounds available for families. The hiking trails to the summit are well-marked, with the area remaining accessible throughout the year.

From the tower platform, visitors see the Lauter valley, the peaks of the Filstal, and the alpine landscape of the Swabian Alps in broad perspective. On clear days, the view spans multiple valleys and shows the variety of local landforms.
